Step 7Iwo Jima!
Gus and Victor sorted out halyards and blocks and threaded new halyards through the mast without losing any ends. We have three new halyards. A mainsail halyard, a jib halyard and a spinnaker halyard.
After a lot of other hassling and preparations it was time to step the mast. We carried the mast onto the boat and fit the new mast step into the socket we'd just carved in the old step. "IWO JIMA!" we yelled. "MOUNT SURIBACHI!!!" We raised the mast up onto the bracket on the mizzenmast.
Eric tied it in place with an innertube.
